Boston Readers - Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

Though he battled for years to marry her—a story told in Wolf Hall—Henry is now disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son, and her sharp intelligence alienates his old friends and the noble families of England. At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over a few terrifying weeks, Cromwell ensnares her in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour waits her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle, and to defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must now ally himself with his enemies. What price will he pay for Anne’s head?

Hailed around the world as a stunning literary achievement, Bring Up the Bodies evokes this frightening episode of English history as no book has before.

I am also having trouble with this book so I am right there with you Sarah! I give up and going to read something else on my own, listen to what the book is about and maybe suggest something else for next week. I'm happy it wasn't just me!!! :-/

This group was established during the summer of 2007 as a casual, social means of discussing the books that have been sitting on our nightstands, or on our "Must Read!" lists for months, as well as providing the incentive with which to actually read them. The group originally ran with two branches: Cambridge and Brookline, and our goal is to provide similar groupings in and around the Boston area. Organization has changed hands over the past two years, but the result has always been a source of good conversation, new acquaintances, and exposure to books and genres that provide both comfort and exploration. So, if you're into reading, talking, and often eating (yay, eating!), you are even remotely close to the Boston area, and are the ages of 20-30ish, this is the group for you.
